Description:
------------
prior to version 5.1.3 http_build_query did not url encode square brackets - this was 'fixed' in 5.1.3 in accordance with http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3986.html.

the manual still show an example (Example 3. on http://php.net/http_build_query [english docs]) that http_build_query output doesn't encode the square brackets.

I kindly request that the docs be updated to show the actual output generated (with regard to square brackets) in current php versions and that a note is added to explain that the urlencoding of square brackets was added in version 5.1.3 

the following bug report explains wqhat the 'problem' was a indicates that it was 'fixed':

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36656

thank you for taking the time to consider this.

kind regards,
Jochem

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

"5.1.3 - Square brackets are escaped." in ChangeLog, example fixed.
